Video seeking in Flash on Ubuntu

If you see a weird behavior with your Flash player on Ubuntu where ‘seeking’ your video, help is here.

Every time i went to YouTube and clicked on the timeline of the video to seek to a particular time, the video would freeze but the audio would continue playing. No amount of apt-get remove and install solved the problem.

Solution :

1. Install the Firefox extension FlashAid
2. Uncheck HWVideodecode

And it should work just fine.
